My neurons don't communicate these days
Disconnected, fail to reminisce
On conversations treasured
And peacock dawns like this.
I'm divorced from memories it seems;
My mind, she angrily lets me go!
Tears up my recollections and my dreams,
Throws out the names and tasks I need to know.
To focus is a struggle.
The deeds of days deleted as they pass.
The messages and contacts I used to juggle
Seem like foggy figures in misted glass
Sometimes the fight is wearing - I get tired.
And now the choice is coming: Forget. Remember.
Do I leave my mind behind, happily unwired,
To let my pasts all burn out to fevered ember?
What's left of me is pleased to meet you - hi!
But brain cells seems to sift away like sands
Do I know you? And by the way, who am I?
I'm sinking - hope my family understands.
I wander, room to room, forgetting why I'm there,
Phasing out as people talk to me, unheard.
Their syllables melt in numb, amnesiac air,
And.....
What was I saying?
